"I'm afraid we must," said everyone.
"If they just look at me threateningly, I'll laugh," said Dorothy. "I'm
so ticklish you wouldn't believe it"
"I'm not ticklish, but I laugh a lot when people say funny things," said
the Scarecrow.
Dorothy smiled. "How long do you think our journey will take?"
"Oh, weeks and weeks," said the Scarecrow.
"My, that is longer than I expected," replied Dorothy. "Do you really
think it'll take that long?"
"Yes, but we'll survive, I'm sure," answered the Scarecrow.
"It'll take some time to cross Elfland," said the Lion.
"Elfland?" questioned Dorothy. "That sounds fascinating. How long ago
was their land discovered?"
"Oh, quite recently," replied the Lion. "Of course, Elves have always
existed. This particular type of elf visits the mortal lands all the
time. They do a lot of work there."
"Well, I'm really looking forward to visiting their country," said Dorothy.
"Let's look at this map again to see what comes after Elfland." She
spread the map out on the ground, and they all peered at it intently.
